This is a good point. Spraying these products makes a lot of mist and it gets onto everything.I use fluid film by the gallon and got a cheapo rustproofing spray gun that runs off my air compressor.
I have a quick-jack (tm) so I can crawl around under the car, but you can do it on ramps. The stuff aerosolizes and gets in my hair, on my glasses, and probably in my lungs. A respirator/ kn95 might be a good idea.
Initial application might take 1/2 to 2/3 gallon, after that, annual touch-ups are 1/3 gallon or so. I really try to hit all the nooks and crannies of control arms and other suspension parts. Found some plugs in my rocker panels so I pulled those and hit everything inside as well. Peel back any plastic fender liners and try to get in back of them. For the ambitious they make little extension hoses you can thread all the way down your rockers if you so choose.
I think my FF washes away by midwinter in the high splash areas. By my math my car will rust out in 30 years, not 15, so that's cool.
That is 100% true. I've seen it in person total trash product.. even on brand new car.I made the mistake of falling for Ziebarts rustproofing scam. It's a rubberized coating and all it does is trap moisture and destroy everything. My truck frame is now a pile of rust and I've been attempting to fix it ever since I discovered I ruined the frame with their "undercoating" garbage. I've spent countless hours scraping the coating off and using rust converters, and now I'm using Surface Shield in an attempt to get some more life out of this thing.
Does this product dry up or is there a oily film left??? Will it wash off if cleaning undercarraige with water???CRC Corrosion Inhibitor. No greasy mess and you can still wash the underside of your vehicle without washing it off.

Is it clear or does it have a color to it???It dries to a semi-hard finish. You can scrape it off with your fingernail, but normal pressure washing or degreasing does not take it off. It does need touched up here and there, but nowhere near an oil spray or Fluid Film.
